Import Tuner Challenge is a brilliantly made alternative to the usual roster of arcade racers like the Need For Speed series or the hardcore sims like Gran Turismo 5. A fairly engaging storyline is administered in a typically Japanese turn-based-style text manner which, if you let it, will draw you in to the game. However, the biggest selling point is the unprecedented menu for car tuning. If you are a real tuner you will adore the infinite possibilities with stuff like accurately modelled camber, toe and ride height adjustments, unlimited transmission and LSD gearing possibilities or even accurately visually modelled engine modification levels with details as little as uprated radiator caps! Not for the casual gamer but such levels of realism are only challenged by GT5, GT5 only being able to match ITC's level of mechanical "settings", as ITC's level of aftermarket parts is unprecedented. GT5 may have around 1,031 cars whereas ITC has a mere 50, but with such a level of customisation you'd be hard pressed to want for more. By comparison to any racing game, ITC suffers one key flaw in its policy of unerring realism, that is the free-roam racing. With only 2 different types of race, time trial or SP battle, there is little in the way of engagement for the casual gamer. A player, like myself, who likes short races and appreciates each race as an opportunity to find settings to tweak on their car would not be so disappointed. Nor would real life street racers, as this is essentially what happens in real life- uncompromisingly realistic, but not for all. Like I say though, you'll probably spend more time tuning than driving, but the occasional Boss battle or tag-team scenario does liven things up a bit. A favourite feature of mine is the extremely detailed cockpit models with the possibility to freely look around and even use your side mirrors to view behind, again ultra realistic and even useful. Basic online features are basically there because they are expected to be, but ITC is definitely a single player experience. Overall, a great game for the aficionado, with only one or two gribes, but definitely for the casual gamer. ****Read full review
My grandson found a used copy of Import Tuner Challenge from the United Kingdom. We got it after a few weeks. It was in perfect condition, no scratches and it is a good game to play.
A good game for those who like car games- graphics and sound are pretty good as are the street circuits..................................................................................................................
